I checked their offerings - $19.97/month vs $5 i pay at BlueVM is really
a considerable difference. The only thing I am really looking forward is
native IPv6 in Zurich with BlueVM. I have very good experience with US
servers, but more and more I am deploying outside US. In fact, this
seems to be a new trend in offerings recently and there does seems to be
demand in servers to be based outside US. 

Nevertheless, I am quite happy with having instances in both US/East and
West with others. I am sure Linode (IPv6 enabled) should get a mention
too -- one can run BSD there. Naturally, one can run a relatively good
instance (not t1.micro) in AWS with FreeBSD. You can start with a
provisioned disk and then growfs it -- something not possible with
NetBSD/OpenBSD. (Workaround: Create a new rootfs and attach and cpio
it).
